I have a deviated. Septum which can result in moisture building up in my small nostril which can lead to coughing. During the summer when humidity is high, I discontinue the water in the tank. The rest of the year I find that low humidity does not give me the problem.

Hi, @johnhans - you mentioned having a deviated septum. I had surgery on mine as my allergist detected it when I first arrived at Mayo Clinic in 1997, sent me to ENT, and next thing I knew I was signed up and on my way to getting my septum repaired. Have you thought about having surgery for it?
